I tend to use what I would think of as half of a "V". Multiple strokes at an angle with some perpendicular strikes mixed in. Watch the wood fly with the perpendicular strikes!

Remember that the V needs to be wide enough so the knife can chop all the way through in a V fashion. A narrow V on a thick or large diameter tree/limb/branch will be frustrating since the knife may end up only being able to go strait in and have no ability to remove chips.

Chop away and have fun

Very true, I wonder if there is a ( width of v cut to thickness of log) equation.


In most cases I generally try to make the V about the same width as the truck/log width.
